2.2.1 Preparing Rough Top Belts
Skiving rough top and
other raised surface belting
is an important step in
achieving maximum
benefits and life from belt
splices. Clipper’s Rough
Top Belt Skiver (Fig. 2-2)
removes raised surfaces
within seconds, leaving a
smooth surface for
selecting and installing belt
fasteners. The Rough Top
Belt Skiver is a safe and
effective alternative to
other methods of removing
raised surfaces such as
grinding wheels, razor
blades or knives. Being a
hand held tool, this job can
be done virtually anywhere.
ROUGH TOP BELT SKIVER – QubicaAMF Part # 792-516-021
Instructions:
1. Place the belt on a solid
surface; hold securely with
your free hand.
Keep hand
out of the path of the skiver.
2. Hold Skiver at about a
30-degree angle to the belt
(Fig. 2-3). Slowly begin
cutting into the belt surface
just under the raised top.
3. Maintain an even
pressure and move Skiver
across the belt (Fig. 2-4). If
held at proper angle, it will
cut through the belt easily.
4. Skive rough top back
one inch from each end to
allow clearance for lacer
jaws during lacing
operation.
To Sharpen:
(Fig 2-5 A & B)
5. Place 1/4” fine stone or
emery board in cutting
channel. Draw away from
tool.
6. After tool is sharp, draw
stone across bottom to
remove burrs.
